If you ask me...............the redesign was simply to SKREW us out of more money.

A 119.00 reel now costs 169.00.....50 BUCKS more......is there 50 bucks more in RD, product, equipment, etc, etc........HELL NO.......but they could not simply raise the price by 50 bucks and sell the old curado reels. I actually posted on another site that the gears and components in the new reels, especially their spinning equipment is JUNK compared to the old.

Too bad.......the old ones are REALLY good...........I have not purchased a new one yet........my 15 yr old curado reels are still holding up pretty good though.
